Severe Weather Enhanced

With Severe Weather the world itself becomes your enemy. Cold bites. Rain gnaws. Wind hunts the weak. Day burns, night freezes. Every land bears its own cruel breath, drawn from the truth of real climates. No two days alike.

Build walls, or perish. Stone shelters guard better than hollow caves. Seasons shift across the world like the wrath of forgotten gods. Storms and cursed skies bring madness to flesh and bone.

Dark places are truly dark now. Volcanoes glow with honest fire, not false light.

Exiled Lands and Siptah wear harsher, grimmer faces - fit for survival, not comfort.

What it does:

• adds dynamic day cycle temperature system
• adds weather / exposure survival system
• GI overhaul (physically based model) *
• lore accurate sandstorm (with beasts)
• custom prayers to Crom, use phrase [code]dc SW_config[/code] followed by psalm

* note that Severe Weather GI overhaul takes full advantage of UE5.8 upgraded lumen and volumetrics, pushing light quality beyond what is in basegame and adds VFX on top of it, it is scalable, it will automatically disable certain features if user settings are set too low, but it is generally designed for CEE on at least High settings. To fully experiece SW's GI and VFX, use of new Enhanced quality profile is encouraged.

[list]
[*] enable_custom_GI
[*] disable_custom_GI
[/list]

disabling custom GI require client re-log, exit to main menu and log-in again
enabling it back is runtime

[list]
[*] severity:snowflake
[*] severity:relaxed
[*] severity:normal
[*] severity:brutal
[*] severity:barbaric
[*] lfs_enabled
[*] lfs_disabled
[*] sandstorm_threat:milkdrinker
[*] sandstorm_threat:normal
[*] sandstorm_threat:barbaric
[*]rp_mode:on
[*]rp_mode:off
[/list] 

those settings are runtime, no need to exit to menu

severity lowers or increases overall daily temperature and exposure impact

lfs enables or disables lore friendly sandstorms
sandstorm threat allows you to choose how soon and how many sandbeasts will spawn if lfs is enabled

enabling rp mode allows you to run SW in a little more more forgiving mode

note that if you have sandstorm already running and attempt to change settings, they won't update until next sandstorm

Load order: typically does not matter, thou it does if you want to use LFS module along SandstormEX, experiment at your own discretion Compatibility: with everything that does not mess with some core game blueprints too much Safe to add/remove at any moment
